Here’s a prayer of thanksgiving
and petition from Thomas’s Everyday
Liturgy website.
Prayer
God of consolation,
How lovely are the ways you clear
for us
and the respite you bring us on our spiritual journeys.
and the respite you bring us on our spiritual journeys.
You give us our daily bread,
water that lasts
and food that eternally sustains.
and food that eternally sustains.
We do not want for anything.
But this world is dark and
enticing,
clouding our vision and leading us astray—
clouding our vision and leading us astray—
we too often trust our own
orientation.
May your Spirit come and guide us
as water and fire,
that we may live out our baptism
that we may live out our baptism
and our call to be disciple
makers. Amen
